This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 559

Chapter 559 Earthquake

What did he mean by ‘affect people with such ease’?

I was also there and heard everything.

Yet, I wasn’t affected in that kind of way and I even thought that it’s disgusting.

So, he’s just looking for excuses! Excuses to… to do things to me! Sonia thought.

When Toby saw that Sonia was so mad to the point of having red eyes, he removed his hand from his pocket and gently patted her on the head. “All right, I’ll admit that I wasn’t affected by that scene, but what I said in the second half is real. The love of my life was in my arms and took the initiative to kiss me, so tell me, how can I resist it?”

Initially, she wanted to push his hand off her head, but the moment she heard his explanation, the hand that she had raised lost its energy as it dropped to her side. The blush on her face deepened as she looked away and replied in a small voice, “I… I didn’t kiss you on purpose. Those two were too active in their actions and kept slamming the door, which bumped into me and resulted in me accidentally kissing you.”

“I know.” Toby nodded before he asked, “Were you hurt anywhere by the door?”

“No.” Sonia shook her head.

The door didn’t ram into her from a distance away; it had always been behind her.

So, when the door jostled her, it didn’t have that great force expected of something flying toward its victim. Hence, she wasn’t injured or anything.

“That’s good to hear.” Toby nodded slightly, his expression relaxing.

Then, he thought of something and asked again, “Right, do you know that woman?”

Upon hearing his question, Sonia suppressed her embarrassment and nodded. “Yes.”

“Who is it?” He looked at her.

She took a deep breath and solemnly answered, “Jessica.”

“Jessica?” Toby frowned as it was a familiar name. Soon, he realized who its namesake was while his usual cold face wore a shocked expression. “Your father’s second daughter.”

He didn’t say that it was her sister.

That was because he knew that there were no sisterly bonds between Sonia and Jessica.

Moreover, he remembered Sonia sharing in the letter that she had been bullied by her stepmother and that woman’s daughter.

So, he also wouldn’t acknowledge that Jessica was Sonia’s sister and much preferred to refer to Jessica as Henry’s second daughter.

“That’s her.” Sonia clenched her fists as fire burned in her eyes. “6 years ago, she and Sandra ran off with every last bit of Paradigm Co.’s assets as well as the money and valuables in the house. I thought that they would have a comfortable life with the amount of wealth they took, but Jessica is living off her position as someone’s mistress. If Dad knew about it, he would be so mad that he’ll return from the dead.”

At that, she suddenly slapped her forehead. “Right, I almost forgot. I need to pass this recording to my friend. The speech will be on soon; if I don’t let my friend listen to it beforehand, they’ll really become an engaged couple and it will all be too late.”

When that happened, her friend wouldn’t be able to bail out of the marriage so easily.

“Go on then.” Toby tidied Sonia’s hair before he retracted his hands and spoke, “I’ll be waiting for you at the elevator. We have to meet President Homer once you are back.”

Sonia looked up at him when she heard his worse. After smiling and nodding at his encouraging gaze, she replied, “Okay, I’ll be off now.”

“Sure.”

She gripped her phone before her high heels clicked as she left.

Toby watched her leave and when Sonia vanished from her sight, his gentleness disappeared from his expression. Then, he took out his phone and made a call. “President Lazuli, it’s me. There’s something about your son that I want to talk to you about after the engagement ceremony.”

Meanwhile, Sonia located her friend.
